What do the inmates think about Caliban, and what problem does this cause for Felix?

The say he is “poxy awesome,” and because they “get him” as the enslaved worker who is hated by everyone (122). The problem this creates is that 15 of Felix’ actors want to play the role of Caliban, and Felix has to dissuade them by telling them more about the psychological complexity of playing Caliban. He tells them it is “hard work” (123).
